Abstract

This paper aims to examine the current state of Zakat and Waqf institutions in Gombe State, Nigeria, and proposes measures for their revival for sustainable community development. The paper also covers a brief overview of the Islamic institutions of Waqf and Zakat, their importance in advancing social welfare and community development, and the present difficulties these organizations face in Gombe State, such as poor funding, improper management, and low public awareness. This study used a qualitative research design, collecting data through interviews and a review of the literature, and evaluating the data using content analysis. The study discovered that in order to revitalize these organizations and realize their full potential, a comprehensive strategy involving cooperation between government agencies, religious organizations, and the community must be looked in to. This strategy entails creating an efficient administration system, creating a thorough legislative framework for Waqf and Zakat, and raising public awareness through outreach and education initiatives.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the socioeconomic determinants that influence educational ambitions in Northern Nigeria and the potential role of Islamic waqf (Waqf). This research uses a qualitative approach. Expert interviews, case studies, and literature reviews are all incorporated into this technique. These techniques make it possible to understand the difficulties facing the local education system in great detail, as well as the historical and current contributions that Waqf has made to the advancement of education. The results of the analysis of the relevant theoretical framework and practical investigations yielded valuable insights into the ways in which the Islamic waqf system can close the huge educational gaps and inequalities in the area. The study looks at the relationship between socioeconomic status and educational goals in Northern Nigeria and how the use and revitalization of Waqf institutions can advance education in the area. The conclusion of the study is that in Northern Nigeria, socioeconomic factors are still a challenge to the desire to get an education. By involving collaboration between governments, businesses, and religious institutions to create effective and inclusive structures, Islamic waqf can be a potential solution to overcome socio-economic barriers in education.
